Cops make fourth arrest in O'side killings

OCEANSIDE  Police made a fourth arrest Thursday in the fatal shootings of two teenagers last month in Libby Lake Park.

Tyrone Blackmon, 29, was arrested during an early morning search of a home in Riverside County and booked into Vista jail on suspicion of being an accessory to murder with an allegation of gang involvement, said Oceanside police Lt. Leonard Mata.

The owner of the Sun City home, Savalia McKnight, was also arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of ammunition. Both are documented gang members, Mata said.

Authorities did not release additional information on how Blackmon allegedly participated in the slayings of 16-year-old Fernando Solano and 14-year-old Sandra Salgado. The teens’ bodies were found in the northeast area of the Oceanside park the night of May 3.

No motive has been given for the killings.

AL’C Robert Bejaran, 19, who was arrested earlier this month at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in Otay Mesa, where he had been placed a few days after the slayings because of a parole violation, is accused of being the triggerman. Also arrested were Justin Gibson, 18, and Kenneth Hamilton, 33, who prosecutors said aided and abetted the crime. All three have also been charged with gang allegations.

Authorities said the victims were not gang members.

Police on Thursday also searched a Murrieta home in connection with the killings and arrested a 36-year-old man on weapons charges. Oceanside SWAT officers found a firearm and ammunition in the house, Mata said.
